.@preskill when you coined name you had no bad intentions. I am aware of that. But I hope you help us create better inclusive communities. I don't know about issues in quantum community, but from my experience with #neurips name change can bring a sea of positive change

During #protestNIPS name change movement, women were primarily attacked and trolled. I even got gun threats. It was an extremely stressful period for us. Some of them came from @sapinker followers after he attacked us and ridiculed us.

Scott unfriended me on Facebook because I called out his terrible judgement to invite @sapinker to write about #protestNIPS These so-called enlightened scientists have terrible blindspots that their egos prevent them ever overcoming. Truly disappointing!

Both Scott and @sapinker could have spent holidays with their families peacefully, as I had planned to do. Instead, they spread toxicity and shut down voices who are marginalized and facing discrimination in our scientific communities. #meToo #meTooSTEM
